beautiful little girl the girl who had everything they needed to remind them that there was still magic to be found in flickering images on a silvery screen and the winner is elizabeth taylor butterfield 8 the santa monica civic center exploded in jubilation they and the world had forgiven her i lost that oscar to a tracheotomy shirley maclaine whispered as she joined in the applause when elizabeth still weak from her ordeal in london reached the podium she was visibly moved i don t really know how to express my gratitude for this and for everything i guess all i can do is say thank you thank you with all my heart all was right with the universe everything was back in place in the heavens our national velvet had won the prize and come home to us all that was left for elizabeth taylor to do now was to fly off to rome to meet her new mark antony white diamonds by elizabeth taylor is one of the most popular perfumes on the market it has been a huge seller for over twenty years and a winner of the fifi award the oscars of the fragrance industry it has eclipsed taylor s first perfume passion and outlived the many flankers of rubies sapphires and emeralds it is in my view the best of her line this floral aldehyde is sure to be viewed by the younger audience as an old lady scent that would be a mistake white diamonds is really a nod to a classic and classy approach to perfume it smells vintage rich elegant and glamorous this perfume is a star and she is at ease in her skin as a stunning beauty with a great sense of humor and she owes a lot to chanel no 5 in her make up in fact you might agree that white diamonds is a hollywood star playing the role of no 5 when the lights come up on set the star walks on with a glorious blast of fizzy and fabulous aldehydes that flash a stunning set of gems made up of bergamot neroli orange and lily this opening is a glittering bulgari necklace that accentuated the lush fullness of her décolletage then she gets down to the business she excels at drama her violets flash purple lights and she throws out petals of roses and laughing narcissus she smiles with wisps of ylang ylang and sensuous jasmine then all is banished by the queen egyptian tuberose how can you resist her at the end of the shoot just before the assistant director calls a wrap she settles into her director s chair with a relaxing cocktail of fuzzy comfy oak moss patchouli musk creamy sandalwood and warming relaxing amber like all great stars white diamonds has longevity it is long lasting in more ways than one the bottle i have is from 1991 and smells wonderful she lasts for hours and hours eight to ten hours tops and that is fabulous she remains young on the skin like a dusting of max factor powder that stays smooth and creamy well into the night her projection is professional and no need for a body microphone she lets you know she is in the room and all eyes are on her white diamonds like elizabeth taylor is unforgettable white

with a guest post by none other than the dandy himself today he takes us to paris where he fist fell in love with women s perfumes now i ask you where else but in pairs would a dandy fall in such a way for such a thing without further ado and such may i present monsieur dandy and his little friend mademoiselle arpege arpege by lanvin she appears at first to be such an unnerving child though she is not a child at all really you arrive at the neat counterfeit of a country cottage that is her parents home your dear friend andre and his wife jeanne s little piece of the languedoc in paris s beaux quartiers not far from the musee marmottan a little before the bois de boulogne she greets you all gamine beauty but wilful and headstrong almost unhinged her mother asks her to collect flowers for the house from the fraysee s beautiful garden she margaret is her given name used exclusively by her mother when upset with her which is often turns more than a touch feral a teen on a chemical kick she rushes around the manicured borders that pretend after the style of rural meadows pulling up plants careless or perhaps all too conscious of their complexion and the destruction she is reeking her mission completed she dumps the result of her floricultural firestorm a frenzy of jasmine rose iris lily lily of the valley even the precious camellias from the cloche in a series of unwashed carafes still sour with the stench of last night s rough white wine in the music room where she places three bloom burdened vessels in a row atop an apparently out of tune upright piano the smell is approaching the unbearable then she starts to hammer out her chromatic scales you notice that it is her playing and not the instrument that is off key then you notice that she is doing it quite deliberately you catch and then return a sly smile with the daughter of the house she is affecting inability as acutely as only a true musician can what feels like a moment s conversation of an hour or so follows she excuses herself to change for dinner whilst the women are preparing themselves you talk politics and the economy and the desperate state of things since the great crash and andre teaches you a new aperitif vanilla martinis the latest american way of forgetting jeanne enters elegance as ever and after her mother the daughter appears her ebony hair tied up to reveal her ivory neck the style held in place with artist s pencil at dinner she grows with a glass of wine in hand into what you realise she now is a beautiful young woman well read she speaks eloquently of eliot and that woman woolf her fragrance is it her mother s sandalwood or father s vetiver that envelopes her or both after eating you retire to sweet amarettos and honeyed chopin played by the same delicate hands that earlier tore up roots with angry urgency and blundered through elementary piano exercises then she is gone upstairs for an early night she is merely on the cusp of womanhood holding within her the promise of future greatness perhaps even an echo of her mother s magnificent past arpege even in her reigned in contemporary form is a perennially prickly perfume quite impossible to get to know at once her behaviour in the opening notes is by most measures quite unseemly and to some noses downright upsetting but forbearance and a little understanding see this slightly acidic aledhyde blossom first into a full bodied floral and then a warm hearted almost wooded amber scent that never loses her edgy integrity arpege can give the best in class including the biggest names a run for their money people speak in hushed tones of her family heritage and i would have loved to have met her mother in her vintage days the part of arpege played by francoise hardy

sound it must have made i said almost to myself in the garden of the house of the faun as i caught sight of vesuvius over what remained of the ruined back walls of the villa or how frightened they must have been my mother said as she came up beside me she took my hand in hers and held it she hadn t done that for a long time not since i was a little boy not like that august 24 79 a d it was february 14 1999 my mother s birthday my step father had brought my mother to italy on a tour with his old alma matter to celebrate her entry into her seventieth year he had invited me along because since i was a boy i was fascinated with pompeii and all things roman i was so enamored of the civilization that after the rains came to southern california i would build roman cites in the wet adobe mud they would bake in the sun until the other kids in the neighborhood found my roman cities and destroyed them i called those children the barbarians reconstruction of a pompeian garden atrium pompeii is deserted in february it is the only way to see it our group of fifteen on the cornell university alumni tour was as it turned out on this chilly afternoon the only living people in the entire city as we wandered the remains of the house of the dancing faun our italian guide explained that when the gardens of pompeii were excavated the archaeologists found remains of the plants that had been living at the time pompeii died the remains were analyzed and all the gardens were replanted and look just as they did exactly 1920 years before almost the same as they had been that noon day in august when the city was full of people none of whom knew that there was a continent beyond the pillars of hercules that would one day be called america or for that matter what a volcano was the guide explained that there is no word in latin for volcano and that the romans had no idea that vesuvius was one the first of two gardens in the house of the faun after lunch we had a little free time and i told the guide i wanted to explore on my own he gave me i had a half an hour before we were to leave and said we could meet up by the gate to the city in agreement he volunteered to tell my parents where i had gone i strolled into the forum and peeked into a warehouse full of objects found in the excavations rows of amphora behind a wrought iron gate and in the center the plaster cast of a crouching man in the position he had been in at the moment that the pyroclastic flow from the mountain hit him further on the garden courtyard of the temple of apollo found me at its center i took
